Kristen Bell Talks Second Pregnancy: “It’s Been Exactly the Same”

Pregnancy doesn’t faze Kristen Bell. The 34-year-old actress and her husband of nearly a year, actor Dax Shepard, announced back in June that they’re expecting Baby No. 2. So far, Kristen says this second go-around has been just the same as the first time.

Looking gorgeous in a floor-length beaded blue and black gown for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Grants Banquet in Beverly Hills, Kristen spoke with Us Weekly about how she’s faring so far.

“It’s been exactly the same,” the House of Lies star tells the magazine. “Maybe 5 percent harder because I chase a toddler [16-month-old daughter Lincoln], but at the same time, it keeps me active. But yeah, it’s been identical.”

Kristen, whose bump was on full display during the glam event, says she gave up refined sugar a couple months back and that’s helping to keep her cravings in check. “I mean, I still crave food in general but I’m not like waking up with a starve, going, ‘I need dark chocolate!’”

Wait, that’s not normal?
